Aren't on thrilled to tears at the thought of being away from work until after the urth? Here's: a vacation gift from Mr. Canfield, and my dear, it's the first time, in the mem- v of the oldest inhabitant, that Ste- by M. Canfield ever gave a girl a box of candy on her departure for a vacation. Five pounds! I'm staggering "Isn't he a dear?" Vee-Vee laughed. "Everyone has been marvelous to me. Just look! French perfume, a com- ICESS Austin plete kit of Peach Bloom Cosmetics with my initials in gold, from Mr. Benham, you know; five boxes of can- dy, three boxes of flowers, half a dozen of the new books--oh, I never dreamed people could be so sweet, Rosemary." "People ?" Rosemary laughed, a little maliciously. "You mean men, don't you? How many of these marvelous presents are from girls ? Not one, I'll bet my week's salary." "You win!" Vee-Vee laughed. "1, for one, am glad you're going away, even if it is for only two weeks," Rosemary confessed.

You can stay as you like, Vee-Vee. Don't hurry on my account!" Vera was startled by the pang of jealousy that contracted her heart. "He's a decent sort to work for, Rose- mary, but I'm afraid you'll find it's a pretty heavy hot weather job. 1 never saw such a fiend for work." _ "You seem to have stood up under it pretty well" Rosemary Fitch re- torted. "As I've told you a dozen times, I never saw anything like your trans- formation, Vee-Vee, I'll never forget that first day that you came down, with your hairbobbed and in that gor- geous ensemble suit, Not a soul in the organization recognized you. Remem- ber how Ruth Hall thought you were Mr. Macklyn's new secretary and told vou all about Vera Cameron, the girl who used to work for him? I thought I'd die, it was so funny!" "I remember," Vee-Vee acknowledg- ed, her mouth tightening. "It was-- very funny. Will you thank Mr, Can- field for me, Rosemary? I'm afraid I won't have time to write him a note. I've got a thousand things to do be- fore my train leaves tonight," she hint- ed, praying that jealous little Rose- mary would leave, "Is Jerry--Mr, Macklyn--in?" Rose- mary dropped her voice to a whisper as she glanced toward the closed door of Jerry's private office, "No, he's at the printer's. But I'm expecting him back by one o'clock. He wanted to see me before I left," Vee-Vee answered, busying herself at her desk. "Where are you going on your va- cation, Vee-Vee?"" Rosemary asked. "That's a secret," Vee-Vee smiled. "I'm not telling anyone." "The girls say you've been spending all your noon hours shopping, and that Jerry has given you three half days off, in addition to Saturday after- noons," Rosemary persisted. "You must be going to Newport or to Holly- wood to get info the movies, I would- n't blame you a hit. You're the most stunning thing I ever saw, with that gorgeous copper-colored hair and those green eyes. Listen, Vee-Vee, will you tell me one thing? - Are you engaged to Jerry Macklyn? All of us know he's wild about you and that he's heen rushing you like mad. I saw you at Smallwood's and at the Manhassett Yacht Club with him--" "I'm not engaged to Mr. Macklya, Rosemary," Vee-Vee interrupted her rather sharply. "I have no strings on him at all. You can spend the entire two weeks I'm gone vamping him if you want to, And--good luck to you!" "Oh, thanks, Vee- Vee! I think he's simply precious. Is he a good dancer ? " "Divine," Vee-Vee said curtly. "Bul he's a dictator. It's all I can do to take his letters when he's working at high tension, And he has a most an noying habit of doing most of his dic- tating around four o'clock and expect- ing every letter to be written hefore his secretary leaves.
